Dick Van Dyke to get Life Achievement Award from Screen Actors Guild

Screen Actors Guild & American Federation of Television and Radio Artists co-president Ken Howard made the announcement Tuesday. He called Van Dyke “an enormously talented performer whose work has crossed nearly every major category of entertainment.”

The 86-year-old entertainer will receive the honor at the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony in January. He already has won a Tony, a Grammy and five Emmy awards.

Van Dyke is being honored for his 60-year career, which includes his hit TV show and film credits such as “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Mary Poppins,” and his commitment to philanthropic causes.
